Driver Cards
Before installing the ScorpionTrack 5 unit, please ensure that the installer has both
driver cards and that both are fully charged (the cards will arrive fully charged but
will run down over time).
To check that the cards are fully charged place each one into the charging dock
which can be powered up using either the power adaptor supplied with the kit or
with any 5 volt micro-USB lead.
When a driver card is on charge the RF signal from the card to the unit is blocked.
(This is a Thatcham safety feature so as not to encourage leaving cards in vehicles on
charge.) This also means that the cards must not be on charge during the installation
process as the unit will not sense them.
The green LED light on the charging dock will flash slowly when the card is flat and
will gradually speed up as it charges. The light will remain constant once the card is
fully charged. From flat a full charge completes in about 30 minutes.
The unit will check for cards every 15 seconds while ignition is on, until both cards
are found.
Please Note: The driver cards are to be fully charged roughly every 6-8 weeks. The
customer will receive a low card battery SMS when they turn their vehicle ignition on
with the low battery card present.
A driver card with a low battery or a driver card in a shielded position, can cause the
tracking device to have problems seeing the card initially, or at all throughout the
journey. This may result in a call from the Secure Monitoring Centre to confirm the
vehicle’s status.
When the vehicle is being driven the driver should have their automatic driver
recognition card(s) present. The driver card(s) should be inside the vehicle and not
concealed and not on charge. This means that an ideal place for the card(s) should
be in the centre console, on the passenger seat or in a cup-holder etc.
When the vehicle is in use it is not recommended for the card(s) to be in wallets,
pockets, bags, boxes etc. because some fabrics can shield RF signals (the same
applies for travelling with the cards in the vehicle boot, glovebox etc.)
